  • the cover assembly 10 includes a layer 23 of opaque ink printed on the front surface 14 of the sheet 12 which provides means for causing at least a major part of the frame portion 19 of the sheet 12 to be opaque.
  • the layer 23 of ink could be formed by one color or many colors to provide, for example, a decorative design or represent scenery, objects or persons, etc. , or provide printed legends on a contrasting background, and the layer 23 of ink could extend onto minor parts of the viewing portion 18 of the sheet to help provide a decorative motif for the cover assembly.
  • the adhesive in the layer of adhesive 20 can be a mixture of a permanent isooctyl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer pressure sensitive adhesive described in U.S. Patent Re. 24,906 and a repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive comprising inherently tacky elastomeric acrylate microspheres which are solid in nature and are prepared by aqueous suspension polymerization of alkyl acrylate monomers and ionic comonomers, which repositionable adhesive is described in U.S. Patent No. 3,691,140.
  • the mixture of those adhesives should comprise from 5 to 20 percent and preferably 15 percent of the permanent pressure sensitive adhesive and from 95 to 80 percent and preferably 85 percent of the repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • adhesive mixture is applied to the rear surface 15 of the sheet 12 in a layer weighing in the range of 8.37 to 16.8 grams and preferably 12.6 grams per square meter after the rear surface 15 is primed by a suitable primer, such as the vinyl chloride polymer and zinc oxide primer commercially designated VAGH that is available from Union Carbide Corporation, Danbury, Connecticut.

Abstract

Ensemble couvre-photographie se composant d'une feuille d'un polymère conformable plus grand que la photographie, avec une partie centrale transparente et une partie extérieure d'encadrement. La partie centrale présente des dimensions et une forme de nature à permettre de voir la partie centrale de la photographie, les rebords de celle-ci s'étendant le long de la partie formant l'encadrement. Ce couvre-photographie comporte une couche d'adhésif sur sa face arrière, le long de la partie encadrement, de sorte que la feuille polymère adhère fermement et se conforme aux contours du rebord de la photographie, de manière à maintenir celle-ci. La feuille polymère adhère au pourtour de la photographie de manière à ce que celle-ci soit maintenue tout en pouvant être retirée de la surface sans subir d'endommagement.
